According to the Federal Nursing Council (COFEN), specializations like these open doors to better-paying positions and are essential to meet the shortage of qualified professionals in hospitals and clinics in Amazonas.

The selection will be carried out through an objective test, scheduled for November 23, 2025, with 50 questions in Portuguese Language and Mathematics. The evaluation will have a maximum duration of three hours.
There will be reservations for slots for people with disabilities (PwD), in accordance with Brazilian legislation.
